If your hash is really big, you could speed things up by using a Schwartzian transform sort:
#--snip -- Hash declaration omitted --
#-- Schwartzian Transform Sort --
my @sorted= map{
$_->[3]
} sort{
$a->[0] cmp $b->[0]
||
$a->[1] cmp $b->[1]
||
$a->[2] cmp $b->[2]
} map{
[ @{ $myData{$_} }{qw| Category File Name | },$_]
} keys %myData;
print join (", ",@sorted), "\n";
#Prints: Method2, Method4, Method3, Method1
Update:On second thoughts - this is probably a marginal gain in efficiency - array access Vs. Hash value fetch.
